Welcome! I'm Angel, the photographer behind Elan Studio.

My story? I am proud to be a mom who's still chasing after her dreams! During my postpartum recovery, I had a short season where I felt no purpose at all. I knew she was in there somewhere, but somehow she didn't feel like a part of me.

If this reasonates with you, I know how you feel!

My passion is to help you capture portraits that captures more than just beautiful/bold images - they also capture your story, your presence, and the season of life you're in.

While you are celebrating a milestone, building your personal brand, or simply want to see yourself through a new lens, my goal is to create an experience where you feel comfortable, empowered and authentically you! And let me remind you, it is absolutely never too early to pour into yourself - nor too late ;)

You're the main character - lets build your vision!

Hey my beauties! I apologize for my absence.

I need some feed back.

Would you prefer me to piggy back my aesthetic information and journey on here or create a separate page?

Should I create a separate page like I did IG?

Keep hair separated from aesthetic and skin?

I dreamt that I was glamming up and fixing up my patient’s hair color in the hospital. 😆
I just took a color class and feeling so inspired right now. I can’t wait to see everyone soon!! Eeeeps!

I finally made it to the finish line! The late night, sacrifices, no life outside of studying, clinical, lab, and projects is over. (Until I go back for my NP)

I’m working in critical care to build experience and looking for a Aesthetic NP, Aesthetic Doctor, plastic surgeon, someone in the field of aesthetic medicine to take me under their wings part-time to train me in the Milwaukee area. If you know someone, please tag them! Thank you!

Thank you to my Davaj clients for supporting me on this journey. I’m one step closer to bringing new services to the menu. As you all know, I am a nut case about mastering my craft and making sure you are perfection walking out the door EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU SEE ME! ❤️ please continue to be patient with me.

Thank you Lacey! You did amazing on my graduation photos!!!

Thank you for jumping in last minute to take these for me. Love you to the moon and back!

Thanks to my sister Panhia for being there to fix any hair that was out of place. 😉

My story, his glory.

-Proverbs 16:3
